Broncos' Talib suffers minor gunshot wound

The Denver Broncos say star cornerback Aqib Talib is recovering after being shot in the lower right leg at a Dallas nightclub early Sunday morning.

Team spokesman Patrick Smyth said the team has been in touch with the cornerback and that he's doing OK.

"We are in communication with Aqib Talib, who remains at a Dallas hospital for observation as he recovers from a gunshot wound suffered to his lower right leg on Sunday. He is expected to be released from the hospital soon, and we are glad he is OK and will make a full recovery," the Broncos said in a statement released Sunday evening. "Our organization has been in touch with the NFL on this matter, and we will provide additional updates as appropriate."

Last week, Talib said he was looking forward to the trip Monday to the White House, where President Barack Obama will honor the Broncos for winning the Super Bowl. It's unknown if Talib will still be able to make the trip.
